Eduniversal 2025: Pforzheim joins the league of TOP BUSINESS SCHOOLS

The Business School at Pforzheim University has risen to the league of top business schools in the Eduniversal Ranking 2025: With the ‘4 Palmes of Excellence’ award, it ranks 7th in this category and is also number 1 among German universities of applied sciences in Germany. The ‘4 Palmes of Excellence – TOP Business School’ rating is awarded to universities with a strong international reputation and extensive global activity, as well as an excellent academic standard. 
"The fact that we have risen once again in the Eduniversal ranking and are now among the top business schools for the first time is a great success for our entire university. Our top position among all universities of applied sciences illustrates how consistently we live and continuously develop quality in teaching. This renewed leap forward shows that we are at the forefront in international comparison – and that is an extraordinary team achievement," says Rector Professor Dr. Ulrich Jautz, delighted with the strong performance.
"The rise to the “4 Palmes” category underlines our growing international reputation, our significant accreditations and our close networking with business and academic partners worldwide.It also stands for our ongoing commitment to excellence in teaching and research, our clear focus on global requirements, and reinforces our path to further expanding our study programmes internationally," emphasises Professor Dr. Thomas Cleff, Dean of the Business School Pforzheim.

The Eduniversal ranking is based on a survey of rectors and deans from a total of 1,000 business schools worldwide. For each country, they indicate which business school they would recommend to a prospective student who wants to study in that country. The ranking thus reflects the international reputation of a country's business schools. The 1,000 universities included in the ranking are first selected by an international academic committee on the basis of quantitative and qualitative criteria.
